Fi1ed June 11, 1932 Poteofed Juno 6, 1933 UNITED STATES PATENT oFFoE This invention iS 8 contoinef of the dis- Ploy envelope type doptod for llSe Inofo aftioulofly in the Packaglng of paPef oi1ieS, BPef napkinS, toble oloths ond s1In ilor 8ftloleS in Slloh Inonner thot v hilo tho goods ore diSPloyed in Seoled conditlon, they ore iSib1o to the proSpective I)IlrohoSer, Who fS thus enobled to see tho ohafaotef of the oontentS of the Pokoge vvithout o ening the some.

l (o11taineTS of this general ol adr ooter hove long been uSed for the ookoglng of po er pfoductS and other goo s and hov1ng gen orolly consisted in the llse of tv7o Sheets of x Inateriol Secured togethef at theiI' InTg1nS to forIn cloSed intefiof in v7hioh the doily of other artiole iS contined. In Some pok oges, the tWo sheets of mteria1 entering into the constrnction hove been of cenoPhone, g1oino 01' othof tfnS aront fiSSlle, So tht both sideS of the oftio o contined in the ckge may be Seen. In otheI' formS, the ock sheet of the pckge hos been of aJ heovief oPaqne n1oteria1, the front Sheot only being of o tr8n pfent nature. 1hiS of' rongeInentin1Ports 8 greater body to the ackge, enables it fo be hondled II1ore reod- 1ly, is Inofe eoonoInio91 to Inonufootufo, ond facilitateS tHe poSting of tho pofts together. The Present inventioI1 hoS sevefo1 iIn oftont pfootioo1 obieots. In tho first p1oo vvhen one of a, relotivel) fovv doilieS ore ockoged in o container of thiS kind, the contoiner is II1ofe of' leSS of o flobby, fiexible oharoctef ond cannot be hondled oonvenient ly. vvhen. it is picked up, iffendS to bend ond doeS not disploy the goods contined thofein to the beSt 8dvantoge. coording ly, the Stiffening of the contoiner I)oftio11lof ly af thot point thereof Where it is do ted to be groSped iS hig}11 deSifoble fof di 1ay purpoSes in orde thot the goods moy shoW off fo the beSt advantoge vvhen hondled by the ProSPeotive )1Ic}1Ser.

In rior roctloe, it haS been comInon to plooe the goods on the booking sheet arnd thefeofter glue the front Sheet to tho backing sheet 8bout the Inargin of the doily, This opefation lflllst bo crfied on vvith oon Sideroble core so thot the odhoSive en1 )1o od does not coIne in oontact vvith the goods so )Eokged ()ne -obieot of thiS invention is to eliIninafo the oore that need be o1'oiS((f in PEckoging goodS of thiS ohorootof for in occordance vith the invention as hereinofter 65 Inore folI ex )loined the continof is initia11 Ina o W1th one end open, So thEt the goo S Inay be introdnced into the pockoge ond the contoiner thereupon sooled vvithout fear of odheSively securing ony paft of the contoiner to the goodS.

nother obieot of the invention is to facilit to the ap 1iotion of tho trode Inork, trode nonle oI' ot, e indicia of ori 'n of the goodS in the pc o eS containing t e Sonle. II'int 65 ing upon CH0phane, glacine and siInilar tranSparent tisslleS preSents onnoying pTobleIns vvhere quontity rodnction is desired, and vvhile s11ch printlng Inay be placed on the back of the baoking Sho, it iS much 70 Inore desiroble to hove the Sanle appeor on the faoe of the pckage. I!he preSent invention rovides nove1 ond eicient IneanS for this urpose and fo1 the dditiona1 )ur oseS to vvhich I ha,ve refeffod and others vvhioh vvi11 be hefoinoftef explained.

ith the foregoing conSidefations in Inind, the invention, in one of itS proferfed Prctioa1 .fofInSoonSfStS in the eInployInent of a suit blo bocking sheet Which moy be opaque or tronsporent, S desired, ond o front Sheet vvhich is trans arent. These tvvo SheetS 8re 'Seoufed to one another of their Ina-rgins for oJ gfoatof poftion of thoir oof I'o)onding )eI'lphefies, leoving iuxtoposed en )o tions of both Sheets unottachod. To the 1nSide of the tronspEfent Shoot Pfofef ab1 f the unottoched end thoreof is adheslvely sooured 8 strip of Inotorial, )fof orably poper, Whio11 exfond tronsverSely of the contoiner a nd referobly foI s11bStn tio11y the fl111 vFidth thereof. ThiSStrip of Intefi1 Inoy be tr nsparont, tronSlucent of o aque, but ordinarily I find thot o oquo paper is Inost desifoble.

vvhen the orts oro osSembled, tho bocking sheet confofIns to the edge of the ffont sheet throughout thfee of its nlorginS, bot tho front sheet iS made to extend slightly be the fouh g .of he b,Ickln -sheet P to forn1 8 tob, Which is pfeforably gummed.

()Ilo oI' Inoro doilieS or other articles aJro adapted to be s1ip e(1 into the ackage, ofter tho IIlaI1Ile1 of S11p ing o oordinto an en 5 volope, So oS fo overlie the boking Sheet and underHe the front sheet and ohe trip 88- sociated therevvith. It is only neoessory thoreofter to fold over the tob of tho front Sheet 8nd odheSively Secur6 the Sonle to the baok of tho bocking sheet in order com )lete the Pockage opefation. I11iS opero tion Inay be corfied on ex odit1olls1 ond vvithout feor of co11sing a esivo to conle in oontaot vvith the goodS in the okge. The strip to vvhich I hve feferred is pref erably pfovided on itS ffont face vvith the naIne of the nlanufacturer, oI' any othe1' advertiSing infoTInotion of indicio aS it Inoy be deSired to I)fint oI' othervviSe delineote thefeon.- This strip thus conStituteS an efficient dvertising medium and of the Same ti ne ServeS to Stiffen and lend Sucient bod to the acka e to )erITlit the Sanle t0 be e ficientl han led.
